"I hate when people have cheesy songs (at their wedding...) my sister's first dance at hers was to 'sexual healing' and i just sat there and cringed the whole time..."

well it was something to that effect, anyway.

"Y'know, kids dont need a politician, what they need is a mirror, an image, they need someone to reflect off of, they need a mirror, I carry a mirror with me all the time"

"Rock Music is about rebellion. It's supposed to be dangerous, and that's the side we choose. We're not looking to make everyone happy."

"I couldn't care less if people think I am insignificant because I am a 22 year old. That's great. We caused a generation gap. Great. Most of the bands around now, I've been playing longer then they have, and I am also way younger then they are."

"I'm an asshole, I'm a jerk, I'm a twerp, I'm a flea bit butt."

[i] [Asked: What's one of the secrets to keeping the band together?] "Circle massage... we like to massage each other."

"You know the Rolling Stones...Well, we're a little bit better than them. They were here in Toronto practicing. We were there. Keith Richards, who's at least 60, had the biggest joint I've ever seen. Of course, I smoked it!"

"How old are you?" Fan: "18." Have you ever been laid?" [fan is speechless] "Well, you're gonna get laid tonight!"

Burn_My_Photograph:

"I am not really into groupies as I have a wonderful wife to keep me company."

Awwwwww....I wonder what she would've done if Billie DIDN'T keep assuring the public that he is totally, deeply, and completely in love with his wife. *snuggles Adie-loving Billie Joe*

Live hard, die young.

What other stuff are you into besides the band?
Billie: Legalization of marijuana or anything productive. People should just do what the fuck they want.

I have one guitar (a Stratocaster) and it's the one that I use all the time and it's fucked up.

The thing is that punk has always been here it's just that MTV has monopolized the whole thing, inspiring the mainstream to look a little more punk than usual. Like how Motley Crue kicked out Vince Neil because they wanted a singer who was more punk. And Lars Ulrich shaved his head and grew a goatee.

I dookied in a girls' pot.

They [skaters] have these big clothes so they can walk through a store and take anything they want and they'll never know. There is so much extra space that they can even frisk and not find anything.

drDrew.com: You used to take your clothes off during Green Day shows -- was that a political thing?
Billie Joe: I guess it was, I don't know. It's gotta be something, because it sure as fuck wasn't sexual!

Well, everything I've learned and seen has been through musicthat's been my education. That's why there's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted. I'd love to go to art school. I'd love to learn how to draw, because CCAC [California School of Arts and Crafts] is right up the street from me, and I'd love to go there. I'd also love to be fluent in Spanish. And I'd like to be a brain surgeon.

Punk will never be dead to me. Even if it's never played on the radio ever again, it's my life. And maybe that's the same old story with me, but I can never just drop this lifestyle. It's me. It embodies me.

A lot of people look at rock stars and movie stars and see people with fast cars and Armani suits and millions of dollars, and look at it as rebellion. That's not rebellion, that's decadence. That's disgusting. That's the reason why I play punk rock to begin with. Just because Joe-Schmo Scumbag is cruising around in a pair of high-heeled shoes and driving a Masarati doesn't mean he's actually walking the walk. So I feel like I have to be focused on what's true and meaningful to me. I'm still wearing the pants I had in the eleventh grade.

I like people and I'm not a person that just stays in my house all the time and counts my money or anything like that, but I'm not going to go out and try to act like a star. I've got my set of friends -- I love them, I think they're great people. I love my wife -- she's the best thing that's ever happened to me in the whole worldand that is all I need. When I talk about my friends, I'm talking about Mike (Green Day's bassist) and Tre.

I sort of enjoy the fact that I'm misunderstood most of the time. That's fine. That's what keeps people guessing

"Rock Music is about rebellion. It's supposed to be dangerous, and that's the side we choose. We're not looking to make everyone happy."

i love that one...

"If I was king for a day, I'd make you all go home! Don't you people have homes?"

"Most punk bands only do three chords, but we try to go that extra mile and do four."

"We don't necessarily want to be one of the biggest bands in the world y'know we wanna be one of the biggest bands in the world"

"You can either do it once now, or y'know, do it never."

"Well, we have a bigger bus, more bongs and more songs" (when asked about how everything changed for Green Day.)

"(laughing and joking) Shut up! Shut your mouth! Shut the hell up! Hey, fuck you!"

"I'll watch your body"

when asked about how he felt about GR being played on seinfeld, he panted and said "It's not any different from being played on Much Music"

"I'll look at Us magazine or People or y'know, stuff like that"

"Like, Mariah Carey when she was really down and stuff. I mean, who cares? Other people have their own problems and y'know, why do they want to deal with her cuz she put on a crappy movie? I mean, go to hell!" he's kind of pissed when he says this.

"I'm destiny's child"

Okay, yeah. I'll put up more later. I'm actually typing this up while watching Egos and Icons, so that's where all these are from.
